SAFEGUARDS TO
PROTECT BUYERS
OF HOMES URGED
Local Committees Being Or
ganized to Watch
Profiteering
Washington, June 26. —e Local
committees engaged in the Own
Your Own Home campaign, which
the United States Department of
Labor has been conducting since the
first of the year, have as one of their
chief functions the safeguarding of
the interests of builders and invest
ors against profiteering in land val
ues or building materials.
Wherever a town or city has un
dertaken to stimulate building as
part of the nation's reconstruction
program, the interests of the com
mittees have been co-ordinated in
such a way that speculators in real
estate or contractors willing to ex
ploit the builder have had little
chance. Real estate exchanges,
chambers of commerce, mortgago
investment companies and building
associations have worked together
for the common good. With the
first idea that shortage of housing
gives an opportunity to start con
struction work, which provides em
ployment for returning soldiers, the
Own Your Own Home movement
was started in a few enterprising
100 Oities in Campaign
It quickly spread until now more
than 100 cities are regularly en
rolled in the campaign while sev
eral hundred more are co-operating
in the work of stimulating busi
ness. In co-operating with the
United States Homes Registration
Service, whose local committees
have provided valuable information
and support to building enterprises,
important results have already been
accomplished. Towns of every size
have taken an interest in starting
these improvements. Where there
was not an organized effort, activ
ity has been encouraged, and each
month shows surprising progress in
all parts of the United States.
The Own Your Home campaign
has been primarily an effort to re-

Famo Stops Seborrhea
and Grows Healthy Hear
We ask you to put FAMO to the
most exacting test.
Have a member of your family
examine your scalp before you
start the use of FAMO.
Apply FAMO daily for one
month.
Have your scalp examined again.
If they do not report the growth
of new hair, return the FAMO
bottle to where you purchased it
and yon will receive your money
back.
FAMO DOES grow new hair
'luxuriantly.
Jt makes the hair fluffy and soft.
f'AMO intensifies a natural ten
dency to waviness and retards
grayness. It contains no harmful
.-/.tcohol to dry the scalp and pro
duce gray hair.
Every woman should use FAMO
regularly.
Its use is a daily habit you will
enjoy.
But not only does FAMO beau
tify the hair.
FAMO kills the deadly sebor
rhea microbe which is the cause
of dandruff.
It stops all itching of the scalp
and nourishes and feeds the hair
roots.
It the scalp without
massage and gives life and sheen
to the hair.
FAMO was evolved by scientists
in one of the famous laboratories
of Detroit
THURSDAY EVENING,
vive building, but naturally it has
awakened ambition to buy as well
as to build. Here, again, it has
been emphasized that local general
committees o£ the Own Your Own
Home campaign should appoint var
ious subcommittees to deal with
special branches of home-owning
enterprises. On such subcommittees
it has been stipulated that there
should serve representatives of or
ganized labor, of building and loan
associations, of the United States
Homes Registration Service and oth
er civic agencies, as well as a rep
resentative of real estate interests.
Where Harm Is Done
It Is recognized that more harm
than good might easily be done in
a community by persuading men to
carry financial burdens heavier than
they can bear successfully. Any
family may be forced to pass
through a period of illness or un
employment. It is pointed out,
therefore, that prospective purchas
ers should not be encouraged so to
bind themselves financially that they
will Jeopardize their entire savings
should periods of unemployment or
misfortune come to them.
Nothing more surely discourages
home ownership than the practices
of what are commonly known as
"mortgage sharks," who lure pros
pective home owners into bad in
vestments and then foreclose on the
first default. Local Own Your Own
Home and Build Now committees
are being counseled to warn men
and women against unscrupulous
persons and organizations and to
recommend only mortgage compa
nies whose methods of business are
reliable. Special subcommittees to
advise on mortgages are always de
sirable and the members of these
should be public-spirited citizens,
familiar with financial problems and
able wisely to direct delinquent
purchasers as well as interested
buyers.
State Druggists to
Meet Here Next Year
By Associated Press.
Chnmbomburir. Pa, June 26.—The
Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Asso
ciation has decided to hold next
year's convention at HarrHburg, the
last week in June.
The committee on drugs repotted
that the quality of drugs is good,
and that American chemicals are
satisfactory. Regarding vegetable
drugs, however, the report said, the
condition is not good owing to a
shortage of foreign production./
Three years were spent in per
fecting it before it was offered to
the public.
The ingredients in FAMO have
never before been used on the
head.
But they have been well known
to medical science for many years.
They work differently from any
other hair preparation.
FAMO stands alone.
If your hair is thin and lacks
lustre and the dandruff scale causes
constant irritation of the scalp,
you should start the use of FAMO
at once.
It destroys the dandruff bacilli.
FAMO is sold at all toilet goods
counters in two sizes—3s cents and
sl. The dollar bottle is extra largo
and contains four times as much as
the smaller size.
Applications of FAMO may be
had at the_ better barbef shops and
hair dressing establishments.
Seborrhea is the medical name far 4
morbidly increased flow from the sebaceous
glands of the scalp. The seborrkean se
cretion forms in scales and flakes and is
commonly known as dandruff.

Name Mountain as a
Memorial to Roosevelt
Announcement has been made in
New York by the Roosevelt Me
morial Association that on July 4
the Black Hills Pioneers would
honor the memory of the .dead ex-
President by naming for him the
highest peak In the Black Hills.
Timed to take place during Home
coming Week for Deadwood and
other Black Hills communities, this
ceremony will be a manifestation of
the affection which all the residents
of that section of the country felt
for Colonel Roosevelt.
"On that day," Captain Seth Bul
lock wrote to the Roosevelt Memor
ial Association, "throughout the en
tire Northwest, the people will carry
in their minds a thought of what the
Colonel was and what he represent
ed in the life of this country."

as Mount Theodore Roosevelt is
now known as Sheep Mountain or
Round Top. It is a detached emi
nence with an elevation of 6,000
feet, three miles from Deadwood,
fifteen miles from Wyoming and
thirty-five miles from the Montana
State line. It is on the Black Hills
Forest Reserve, and will be the cen
ter of a bird and game refuge also
dedicated to the memory of the ex-
President.
An automobile road is now being
built to the top of the moutnain
from Deadwood. A new bridle path
along a beautiful little creek will
also give access to the mountain
top and the memorial cairn.
Wants U. S. Alone
to Finance Liberia
London, June 26. —Proposal that
the United States alone should un
derstand the whole responsibility of
the finances of Liberia is made by
C. D. B. King, Secretary of State and
President-elect of Liberia, who Is
visiting Jiere.
Mr. King said the negotiations for
a loan of $5,000,000 from the
United States Government to Li
beria had not been completed. At
present there was an international
receivershiff to which Great Bri
tain, France and the United States
were parties. "As this loan is to
be used in paying off the existing in
ternational obligations," said Mr.
King, "it will necessarily follow that
the United States Government will
undertake the whole responsibility
to administer our finances. Negotia
tions on these points are now pro
ceeding between the American, Brit
ish and French governments and
there may be a withdrawal of Great
Britain and France from the Inter
national receivership in its present
form; as the receivership has not
worked altogether satisfactorily.
"It would simply mean that In
stead of our having financial repre
sentatives of three powers assisting
us In applying our finances to the
needs of the country we would have
one set of officers and those nomi
nated by the United States Govern
ment."
